Between 1970 and 1973, the. proportion of women in

Enthusiasm is the propel-
lant power that will take you
from a slow lift-off into a
steady, upward surge. With
its controlled, explosive jet
force you’ll put your dream
in orbit! It turns "have-
nots" into "have’s.” It turns
starters into finishers. ‘It
takes underdogs and
transforms themjnto cham-
pions
Dreamy starters without
enthusiasm quickly lose
their steam and end up dis-
appointing fizzles, sputter-
ing on the launching pad of
lire.
A dull knife blade, no
longer able to cut; a clouded
window, no longer admitting
light; a sluggish engine,
choking and chugging up a
muddy hill — that’s a pic-
ture of a goal setting, prob-
ing view. The sputtering en-
gine breaks into a smooth-
running; power-packed ma-
chine that leaves the muddy
trail behind and turns into a
solid expressway.
Take on enthusiasm and
the discouraged personality
is reborn as a positive, emo-
tionally charged dynamo!
Nothing can stop you now!

the inspector general, "received
a total of $46,900 from NIDA
contractors.” We had traced
$15,000 In such payments to
Mary Lou Dogolofl. On some
contracts, her salary "was
reported to NIDA under her
maiden name" but the checks
were made out to Mrs. Dogoloff.
Before the couple was married,
while the romance was still
blooming, Mary Lou was assign-
ed to 16 task orders "which were
signed by Mr. Dogoloff."Oneof /
the 16 was signed after the
marriage, but "she did not work
on the order.”

award this contract to an old
friend, Dr. Richard Katon, who
